I never realised how excessive travelling can have an impact on your skin and body physically until I travelled excessively this year. I noticed a lot of changes to my body and skin and I still find it weird to this day. So I have done short trips and long haul flights too and I started to read a few articles about what effects flying has on your body.

PRODUCTS ON REPEAT

So I thought it was only right to write a blog post on my recent collaboration with La Mer on Blue Heart. I know a lot of you might not understand why and what this means to me. But I wanted to share a special story that would hopefully inspire or move you in different ways. So here it goes...

As I write this post on the plane, I can’t help but think about my first destination. When I was younger, I always wanted to travel beyond what the world had to offer. I am very blessed to have that prayer answered. My first time on a plane which I can remember, was when I was 6 years old - I even remember the pink and grey outfit I had on, with my cute little braids. I was not nervous, I was so excited about the destination. The destination was Cape Town, now and still one of my favourite places to visit. Looking back now, it has become a memory that began a beautiful journey of new destinations.

As I am writing this blog post I can't help but feel a bit emotional, (either because I'm in my feels or I'm Europe home-sick!). For the first time in a long time, I miss Europe, it's kind of weird because it is always the other way round.

So we are literally just under 10 days away from christmas now. CRAZY, right? I know I know! So the spirit of Christmas is all about celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ but it is also about being thankful, giving and loving. So the blog has been alive, for just over a year now and things just keep getting better each year BUT I would have never been able to do it without you all. So in the midst of giving, loving and being thankful I would like to extend that to all my supporters and do a blog giveaway.
